If EL expressions are not being evaluated, you may have a set up problem. See the JSP FAQ for information on properly setting up a JSP 2.0 web application.

What container and version? What is the declaration at the top of your web.xml?

Did you check to see if your list is getting populated? And also is the forEach getting executed? I mean if you give something like this, is it working?

<c:forEach items="${expTypes}" var="expenseType">
Hello
</c:forEach>

</taglib>




part of my c.tld file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Your web.xml declaration is wrong. In order to enable the EL outside of the JSTL tags (like <c:out>) you must declare your web.xml using the Servets 2.4 XML Schema.

See the JSP FAQ for details.

bear is right
you have to use

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">

one more thing

is map is set as attribute

pageContext.setAttribute("map", yourmap);
